Spit roast is generally used for cooking large joints of meat or entire animals, such as Pig Hog Roast, Lamb Lamb Roast or entire cattle. The rotation of a Spit roast cooks the meat evenly in its own juices and allows easy access for continuous basting if desired.

The Spit roast is the way we cook a Hog roast at Sizzling Hog Roast. our machines have a viewing window to see the Hog roast rotating while cooking.

In medieval and early kitchens, the Spit roast was the preferred way of cooking meat in a large household. A servant, preferably a boy, sat near the Spit roast turning the metal rod slowly cooking the food; he was known as the "spit boy" or "spit jack". More mechanical means were later invented, first moved by dog-powered treadmill ! and then by steam power and mechanical clockwork mechanisms. Hog Roasts or spit roasts are now usually driven by electric motors.

When a Hog Roast or spit roast is cooked, balance is important. If the Hog Roast is out of balance, it will impose a heavy load on the drive mechanism or cause the mechanism to fail to turn. Loose pig legs can also cause the mechanism to jam. For these two reasons, some skewering skill is required when doing a Hog Roast.

Hog Roast Lancashire

I have to admit that I love my food and certain foods are more preferable than others. I recently visited Bath and whilst I was taking in its many delights I came across a spit roast stall. The queue for the stall reached around the block and this is always a good sign. It shows that the food that is produced is of exceptional quality and due to this many people want to buy it. On my return to Manchester I took a look online to see if it was possible to hire a hog roast for a special party that I was planning. To my delight I came across a company that specialises in Hog Roast Lancashire and my search turned out to be triumphant. Not only does the Hog Roast Lancashire crew provide a spit roasted hog, they can provide a spit roasted lamb as well. A host of salads and potatoes can be ordered to go with the roast and a choice of desserts can also be provided. I`m sure many guests would love to try the roast if I provided one at my planned party. If the guests love their food as much as I do the Hog Roast Lancashire team will go down a storm.

Hog Roast

Whenever I have seen a Hog Roast stall in operation there has always been a large queue of people waiting to purchase a roll stuffed with the delicious meat. A spit roasted pig is packed full of flavour and stalls that sell the roasts tend to do rather well wherever they are pitched. As a focal point for a get together the spit roasted pig can make a welcome addition. Anyone organising a large party can hire a spit roast and it will come with its own chef who will prepare, cook and carve the roast for the hungry party goers. Not only can you have a Hog Roast at your special get together you can have a lamb roast as well. The pig or lamb is cooked at the event and no food is prepared beforehand. Typically it takes about 5-6 hours to cook the pig whereas the lamb takes slightly less time at about 2-3 hours in total. Once the Hog Roast is ready it is served in bread rolls with a number of accompaniments. Apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing are served in the roll and a choice of salads and potatoes can also be provided as well as mouth watering desserts. Large queues always gather next to a Hog Roast stall because the food that is provided is always packed with plenty of flavour.

Spit Roast

I don`t know about you but whenever I walk past a stall that sells roasted pig my mouth starts to water. You tend to see large queues at a stall that caters for a Spit Roast as this type of food always goes down well at whatever setting it is in. Many outdoor and indoor events have one of the roasts on the go and they tend to be prepared many hours before the functions begin. That`s because it takes between 5-6 hours for the roast to be ready. This type of catering has become increasingly popular at social gatherings such as wedding receptions. A good sized Spit Roast will cater for 150 people and they come with accompaniments as well. The hog is served inside a bread roll with yummy apple sauce and sage and onion stuffing. People can pick from a number of salad options and there is a choice of potatoes too. Try one of the rolls packed with flavoursome hog roast and you`ll find it`s a truly tasty snack. If you arrange to have a Spit Roast at your next party the guests will be treated to a fabulous focal theme. Just thinking about the roast makes my mouth water and I can almost taste the super snack.

Spit roast is a style of roasting where meat is skewered on a spit with a long solid rod used to hold the pig or lamb while it is rotating and cooked over a fire or roasted in an oven. A pig cooked by the Spit roasting method is commonly described as a Hog Roast.

A Hog Roast can also be cooked by laying the pig on a large roasting

tray in an oven.

This method of cooking could not be described as a spit roast.
